Unknown Partition

#1 Post by Alexs6 »

Good day! I am trying to recover my passport wireless( 2 TB + ExFat). Windows asks me if i want to format it, but i don`t) No strange sound from the hdd.

Windows 8 mashine. Test disk gives me the following result from the deeper search. What means unknown?
Is there any chance to recover partition? Actually deeper search is still going on(~4 days....) Strange behaviour...

What is the result if you choose TestDisk, Advanced, Boot ?

I am still at deep scan window(90+%) - let him finish...

Maybe i can run another instance of the testdisk app and make the steps you are asking. I`l get back to you after that.

Thanks!

Deep scan has ended. Those unknown partitions dissapear.

Actually i can`t see mentioned boot option in advanced tab. Here is the screenshot after clicking on advanced tab.
